Small World Café
Fridays, @7-9pm, HUMSS 44
Especially for International Students, Small World Café is a friendly and relaxed opportunity for us to meet other students and to have some fun together!
Food is normally involved! We also have an optional Bible discussion for anyone who is interested where we talk about the Bible and explore what it means for us today.
We also organize exciting trips out which have included trips to Oxford, Bournemouth and other fun things like Ice Skating!

“Small World Café is very important and it is very helpful for all foreigners. I thank the Lord that this program exists.” - A French Student.
“I really miss everyone and events I participated in Small World Cafe… Please pass this warm feeling forward…I strongly hope that Small World Cafe, the place for friendship and happiness, will last forever and ever.” - A Thai Student.
“The best thing I got from Small World Cafe is the chance of getting to know other international students especially British people. To be there, we can share experience in various aspects which I couldn’t do in the class there.” - A Thai Student.
“I loved the Small World Cafe for several reasons: the themes were very good and enabled international students to discover the English food (with jacket potatoes, Cornish pasties, fish and chips, scones for examples), but also the English sports like cricket or Frisbee. I also liked the games thanks to which everybody could play and speak together, the games in which everybody is involved, like Pictionary or that kind of things… So, carry on.” - A French Student.
“I’m not Christian but it feels very nice to be there” - A Malaysian student.
“The students at small world cafe were some of the first British students I met. It was really special how they had the big welcome party for us; it was special that they took the time to do that and care about us. I had absolutely no intention of exploring my faith in England. I thought if anything I’d come back a bonafide atheist. I had a friend who had gone abroad and came back an atheist. I never imagined that I would go to church or that the dearest and closest people to me in England would be Christians. I’ll hold it in my heart forever- the compassion and the listening ears that they offered me. They liked me for who I am. I didn’t go to all that many SWC events, but I count them amongst my favorite memories. I liked the Scottish night especially. Once towards the end, there was an event with special deserts and a chance to ask questions. This man, who was speaking there took the time to sit next to me and help me understand. He opened up his bible and had clear, compassionate answers. He was very familiar with it. It was strange; he just had met me and I feel like he understood me so well. I had no idea that Christianity was not about guilt and rules, but rather about love, God’s love. And that it is about admitting I haven’t loved God with all my heart mind soul and strength. God loves me! How wonderful is that? I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to be a Christian, but I am grateful that I got to see that Christians can be fun, kind, and real people. Thank-you so much!” - Anonymous student.
